Steve Rosenbloom is a sports columnist and blogger who has been with the Tribune since 1996. No one can believe he’s still here, most of all him. Steve co-hosts sports movie nights with Tribune film critic Michael Phillips because they’re fun and they often let Steve pick the movie, starting with “Slap Shot." Steve has written many “Faker’s Guides to ..." that you can buy in poster form, and Steve wishes you would. Steve is featured in daily sports videos despite having a face for radio. Steve loves a woman he calls Luscious, and just you never mind how she got that name, mister. Steve also enjoys cigars and pinot noir, but has developed a recent taste for red blends, if you’re buying. Steve likes show tunes and still tears up at the end of “Field of Dreams."

Welcome to Snarkvember: Some Bulls players don’t know they’re bad and, even better, they also don’t know which teammate is good. Say this for the Bulls: They know how to run a tank job. These were the salient conclusions to begin the week after a game in which Justin Holiday took 16 shots and Denzel...

While you were sleeping, the 49ers fired Bears castoff Brian Hoyer and acquired quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo from the Patriots for a second-round draft pick. That’s all. Just a second-round draft pick for a guy some believe could develop into a 10-year starter. The same price many people around...

It’s all about Mitch Trubisky, Vol. 4: It took eight series and an 11-point deficit with less than eight minutes remaining Sunday, but it finally happened: The Bears let their potential franchise quarterback drop back regularly and — get a load of this — play quarterback. The Bears fought it for...

After the Cubs’ dream of winning back-to-back World Series was blown up last week, Baseball Moses Theo Epstein said manager Joe Maddon could bring back every coach he wanted.
